撒迦利亚书 2
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
准绳的异象
2 我又举目观看,看见一人手里拿着量度用的绳子。(本节在《马索拉文本》为2:5)
2 我问他:“你到哪里去?”他对我说:“我要去量度耶路撒冷,看看有多宽,有多长。”
3 那与我说话的天使离去的时候,另有一位天使迎着他来, 4 对他说:“你快跑去告诉那年轻人:‘耶路撒冷必有人居住,像没有城墙规限的田野,因为城中的人和牲畜很多。 5 耶和华说:我要作耶路撒冷四围的火墙和城中的荣耀。’”
呼召人民回归故土
6 “嗨!嗨!你们要从北方之地逃走(这是耶和华的宣告),因为我过去曾把你们分散在天的四方。”这是耶和华的宣告。
7 耶和华说:“嗨!与巴比伦的居民同住的锡安的人民哪!逃跑吧!”
8 万军之耶和华这样说,得了荣耀之后,他差遣我去攻击那些劫掠你们的列国,因为凡触摸你们的,就是触摸他眼中的瞳人。 9 看哪!我要向他们挥动我的手,他们就必成了自己奴仆的掠物。这样,你们就知道万军之耶和华差遣了我。
10 “锡安的居民(“居民”原文作“女子”)哪!你们要欢呼快乐,因为我要来住在你们中间。”这是耶和华的宣告。 11 到那日,许多国家要归附耶和华,作他的(“他的”原文作“我的”)子民,他要(“他要”原文作“我要”)住在你们中间。你们就知道万军之耶和华差遣了我到你们那里去。 12 耶和华必再得着犹大作他在圣地的业分,他必再拣选耶路撒冷。
13 全人类都当在耶和华面前肃静,因为他从自己圣洁的居所被激动起来了。
Zechariah 2
New King James Version
Vision of the Measuring Line
2 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, (A)a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 So I said, “Where are you going?”
And he said to me, (B)“To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”
3 And there was the angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him, 4 who said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying: (C)‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it. 5 For I,’ says the Lord, ‘will be (D)a wall of fire all around her, (E)and I will be the glory in her midst.’ ”
Future Joy of Zion and Many Nations
6 “Up, up! Flee (F)from the land of the north,” says the Lord; “for I have (G)spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven,” says the Lord. 7 “Up, Zion! (H)Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.”
8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who (I)touches you touches the [a]apple of His eye. 9 For surely I will (J)shake My hand against them, and they shall become [b]spoil for their servants. Then (K)you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.
10 (L)“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I (M)will dwell in your midst,” says the Lord. 11 (N)“Many nations shall be joined to the Lord (O)in that day, and they shall become (P)My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then (Q)you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. 12 And the Lord will (R)take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem. 13 (S)Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused (T)from His holy habitation!”
